    I was 36 when I first backed Star Citizen. I'm now almost 50. Sure hope I get to play this game before I'm either dead or too old to enjoy it
  • @themightymo3491
    I am really hoping for some kind of Alien-esque moments where you have to land at an abandoned station, then make your way inside to reactivate or retrieve components you need to get your ship out of there. Maybe something lives on the station. Maybe it’s just your imagination.
  • @JFrombaugh
    I’ve been saying it for years: Exploration is the single biggest untapped gameplay loop that SC’s competition has that SC doesn’t have.
  • @Farrister
    I know we're supposed to be talking about 4.0 here, but can we take a moment to appreciate the wonderfully professional quality editing on this one? A masterpiece
  • @Swidhelm
    They really need to bring back some of those much smaller stations, but have them way out at the farther edges of systems.
  • @GrimGatsby
    Towns with localized gameplay is whats going to change the game imo. Especially in the main landing zones. I think it will be the biggest improvement to the onboarding experience among about 100 other reasons.
  • @rock2k14
    One thing I'm surprised you didn't bring up in the "Some Other Possibilities" is Vulkan Multi Threading, I'd honestly Be very surprised if we don't see it in that update. Also I'm gunna be honest, if they want to get me hyped for 4.0, make the damn Vending Machines work 🤣 it's been so many years those things have just been taunting us.
  • @tomsmarkovs1946
    That intro CR video is really good. . It shows that it was always the plan and everything is going according to plan. Just longer than expected.
  • @ACrimeSoClassic
    I have to say, I appreciate you taking the time to sum all this up!
  • @loshombre2926
    Love your quality of content. Been following for a while. Thanks.
  • @markpaulsen6493
    Really great video! So excited for where everything's headed and the features targeted for 4.0
  • @staceybertran52
    Loved the music choices and the presentation at the beginning as the lead in. Great work on this one. Cheers !
  • @blackhatkid07
    Thanks for the content! I'm really looking forward to server meshing. It'll be great to see a lot more players on the regular!
  • Very nice video. Great editing and a voice like butter. Keep em coming.
  • @TheGaryinWales
    Great video. It definitely feels like the things are coming together.
  • @fourover4
    Your videos are so well done. Every time. We notice! Thanks for this update
  • @DK_play-lh6zg
    I do love this tomato. He's just the most pro commentator on the game. Know's his shit. Knows how to present it. Silky smooth radio voice, too. Bored gamer blabbers on for ages without getting to the point. Inforunner's (I'm aware that's a second channel for mr tomato) have a lot of filler content too and they also encourage dropping too much cash in. SaltEMike is a little intense in his feelings about the game, but he is well structured and usually on the money in his analysis. Loud guns is also really cool but doesn't produce as much content, and I feel he's a "too forgiving" a critic. Morphologis is a bit narrow in his focus but does his thang very well.
  • @queze009
    Keep up the great content brother!
